“I cannot recommend Lizzie highly enough! She took incredible care of my dog while I was out during the day, and I truly felt at ease knowing Derek was in such great hands.

It's clear that she genuinely cares about the well-being of the pets she looks after. Her warm and friendly personality made her the perfect fit. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and attentive to take care of your furry friend, Lizzie is the one!

About: Animals and humans were made for each other. I’m a lifelong dog lover with several years of pet sitting and dog walking experience. I’d love to help your pets get the care and exercise they need! I currently work a part-time, remote job which gives me great flexibility for working around most schedules! I am able to do ample walks throughout the day. Unfortunately I am not able to provide any services in my home at this time. As for working in the home of clients, I am careful to only spend time in parts of the home that are required for the job in order to respect your space and your privacy. Ultimately I want to spend time doing what your pets want to do!

“Athena was the absolute best! She took care of our cat, Babs, over a long weekend and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of her! She was always on time and went above and beyond on her visits. She sent lots of pictures and made sure she was well taken care of!!! Babs absolutely ADORED her and even cuddled with her, which is not something she usually does! 10000% recommend booking Athena!”

“Megan takes excellent care of our cat Lilly. She is very responsive to us, has a keen sense of Lilly’s personality, and is attentive to Lilly’s nutrition, exercise, grooming and playtime. She provides plenty of pictures that let us see how Lilly is doing. She is key to Lilly (and us!) doing well while apart. We highly recommend Megan for any pet sitting needs.”
“My little girl felt instantly comfortable with Abby and that increased over the days. I decided to not board my pup and let her have the comfort of home, and it was the right decision. Abby is considerate, observant, playful and leaves really comforting notes.”
About: Hi! I’m Jake, a lifelong dog lover with professional daycare experience. I grew up with dogs and spent time working at a busy dog daycare and boarding facility in Denver, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. That experience taught me how to read dog behavior, keep play safe, and make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone else, so I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make your dog feel relaxed, happy, and loved while you’re away, whether that’s during a walk, a drop-in visit, or longer care. My schedule is very flexible, and communication is important to me. I always keep my phone nearby and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can see how your pup is doing. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I make sure to follow what works best for them so they feel right at home. I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🐾 I’m a musician who recently moved to town, so my schedule is very flexible right now. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, and attentive care. I structure my days so the pets I’m watching always get consistent attention, exercise, and communication with their owners. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routines as closely as possible. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and supervision, while keeping their environment safe and calm. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and needs, and I always communicate with owners so they feel confident their pet is living their best life and having a great time!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Madison
Hailey was awesome! She was very responsive and went out of her way to accommodate our needs. We made a couple of changes to our initial request and she not only helped make the changes, but was available to sit with Rhett. I had never used Rover before, but we are traveling this summer in our RV and being able to find someone in the area was so nice and Rover made that possible. Many thanks to Rover and to Hailey. We would definitely use her again if we are ever in the Nashville area.
I have 3 small but big personality dogs and Jessie couldn’t have taken better care of them. In the pictures of their visits I could tell just how much fun they were having. I was almost scared they’d be disappointed when she wasn’t the one walking through the door! Pick Jessie :) she’s the best
Claire did a wonderful job taking care of Milo while we were away for over a week. She was attentive, responsible, and clearly cared for him as if he were her own. We had great peace of mind knowing Milo was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly, and we came home to a happy, well-taken-care-of pup. We truly appreciate her excellent care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. 🐾
Matt was awesome with my 2 bulldogs. One is a senior and the other a young rescue bully with high energy and anxiety. Both dogs can be anxious I’m their own way, and Matt was great with each. I felt very comfortable having him care for my ‘drama dogs’ and would recommend for future drop ins or sittings.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Madison stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Madison choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Madison with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
